The Kinode Book
Kinode is a decentralized operating system, peer-to-peer app framework, and node network designed to simplify the development and deployment of decentralized applications. It is also a sovereign cloud computer, in that Kinode can be deployed anywhere and act as a server controlled by anyone. Ultimately, Kinode facilitates the writing and distribution of software that runs on privately-held, personal server nodes or node clusters.
